Experience Timeless Luxury at Amanpuri
On a coconut palm-studded peninsula overlooking the Andaman Sea, Amanpuri stands as Aman’s flagship property and Thailand’s original ultra-luxury resort. Since opening in 1988, this sanctuary has set the standard for barefoot elegance, where ancient Ayutthayan architecture meets contemporary comfort across 76 acres of tropical splendor on Phuket’s exclusive west coast.
Thai Pavilion Living
Amanpuri’s pavilions and villas showcase traditional Thai architecture with swooping rooflines inspired by ancient Ayutthaya temples. Each accommodation features polished coconut shell columns, handwoven silk cushions, and spacious outdoor salas perfect for private dining or afternoon meditation. The pavilions, ranging from 115 to 175 square meters, include oversized bathrooms with sunken tubs, while villas add private pools and multiple bedrooms for families or groups.
Private Beach Paradise
The resort’s crescent-shaped Pansea Beach remains one of Phuket’s most pristine stretches of sand, accessible only to Amanpuri guests and their neighbors. The beach club provides casual dining, complimentary water sports equipment, and attentive service ensuring every comfort. The calm, clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling reveal colorful marine life just offshore, while the beach’s western orientation guarantees spectacular sunsets.
Culinary Excellence
The Restaurant serves refined Thai cuisine alongside international favorites in an open-air pavilion with ocean views. Nama offers contemporary Japanese cuisine including fresh sushi and sashimi, while the Beach Terrace provides casual Mediterranean fare steps from the sand. Private dining experiences range from beachside barbecues to in-villa Thai cooking classes with the resort’s talented chefs.
Holistic Wellness Center
The Aman Spa encompasses multiple treatment pavilions set within tropical gardens, offering therapies that blend Thai healing traditions with Aman’s holistic approach. The wellness center includes steam rooms, saunas, and cold plunge pools, while the cliff-top sala provides a serene space for meditation and yoga. Personal wellness consultations create customized programs combining treatments, nutrition, and movement.
Marine Adventures
Amanpuri’s fleet of luxury vessels provides access to the Andaman Sea’s treasures. Day trips explore the dramatic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, snorkel in the crystal waters around the Phi Phi Islands, or cruise to secluded beaches for private picnics. The PADI dive center arranges excursions to world-class sites, while the resort’s traditional longtail boats offer sunset cruises along the coast.
Timeless Thai Elegance
More than three decades after opening, Amanpuri maintains its position as Thailand’s premier luxury resort through constant refinement rather than reinvention. The property’s mature gardens, exceptional staff (many serving since opening), and commitment to understated elegance create an atmosphere of serenity that keeps guests returning generation after generation to this peaceful place.
